planning and implementation processes in big cities. There will be practice
material out of a small number of cities which the commission visited in the
last years of work.

2002-2006 and the expected events in the future. Other items were the FIG Task
force on Sustainable Development, the Bathurst Declaration and Agenda 21 and the
implementation of „HABITAT II Conference"-results in the daily work of
the Commission 8 incoming events.
The delegates emphasise the participation of the commission 8 members in the
FIG Special Task Force on FIG Agenda 21 on implementing Agenda 21 and the Global

comments and to give more activity in the daily work of the commission for
